  • At this level, a variety of policy- and implementation-related work is proposed, discussed, and reviewed by relevant stakeholders. 
  • These committees then make proposals for the DVOMB to consider.
  • All meetings are open to the public and accessible remotely in order to allow people from across the state to participate.
